Due to a cross-country job change, my daughter/S-I-L/new grandson are living with us for a while while getting settled. Also included is her geriatric (14yo) chocolate lab. Even after plenty of time to get settled and relaxed, something is causing him to have unbelievably bad farts. These are every 5-10 minutes; rank enough to literally make your eyes water. We've tried several diet changes, including several high-quality dry and canned foods, and plain, homemade chicken and rice, all of which have had no effect. The vet (a good, trusted one) is no help. They did a full abdominal ultrasound to look for anything abnormal - all negative. He is old and stiff, but otherwise quite active. Eating and drinking normally. Fairly normal poop with occasional bouts of diarrhea during some of the dietary changes.
Is this just a characteristic of old dogs?
